        "text": "Per Curiam.\nRoderick Leshun Rankin was convicted of three counts of capital murder on February 9, 1996. He filed a notice of appeal, and presented to this Court a seven-volume transcript of the record on August 30, 1996. On October 10, 1996, we granted a motion by his counsel, Gene E. McKissic, to extend the deadline for submission of Mr. Rankin\u2019s brief until December -8, 1996. On December 10, 1996, we granted a second motion for extension until February 6, 1997. On February 5, 1997, we granted a \u201cfinal extension\u201d and set the final deadline for filing the brief at February 20, 1997.\nOn February 20, 1997, Mr. McKissic filed a motion to supplement the record and for an additional extension of time for filing the brief. In the motion Mr. McKissic stated, \u201cThat after full review of the transcript it was discovered that certain proceedings had been omitted from the record by the Court Reporter.\u201d No reason was given as to why the transcript had not been \u201creviewed\u201d previously.\nMr. Rankin\u2019s brief was tendered to this Court on March 3, 1997. The State has not responded to the motion to supplement the record and extend the time for filing Mr. Rankin\u2019s brief. We grant Mr. Rankin\u2019s motion to supplement the record and for extension of time so that the appeal may proceed.\nMr. McKissic is ordered to appear before this Court on April 7, 1997, to show cause why he should not be held in contempt for failure to file the brief in a timely manner.",
